RELOCATION GUIDE: THE INSIDE SCOOP FOR YOUR BIG MOVE

SELLING YOUR CURRENT HOME If possible, selling your current home should be a high priority. Depending on your timeline, you can work with a real estate agent to get your home on the market as soon as possible Does your financing for a new home need to be contingent on the sale of the home you’re currently in? When you want to sell a home fast to get the cash for your next home down payment, you can accelerate the process by attending to details in advance. Discuss these aspects with your real estate agent to learn how you can get your home sale on the fast-track: • Pay for an appraisal or expert assessment to identify areas that could be quickly improved to increase the value of your home.

• Perform any minor repairs (and learn if any major repair needs will surface during inspections).

• Stage your home to sale by investing in basic cosmetic improvements, such as paint or landscaping.

• Get professional photos and videos taken, so your home can show virtually.

• Decide on the sale price you really need to happily move forward into your new community.

RELOCATION GUIDE: THE INSIDE SCOOP FOR YOUR BIG MOVE

FINAL LOGISTICS As you wrap up life in an old city and move to a new one, there are some important final logistics to wrap up. Some of these are true of any move and some are unique to a relocation. Here’s what to keep on your list: Final closing/house sale Hand over keys, appliance information and clean home Change utilities, if required Set up mail forwarding

When moving to a new city, you may have a gap between your current home and next home.

This may require that you: Arrange movers and book a storage unit Set up temporary housing or rent

Whenever you move to a new state, you’ll have to remember to: Pack for a short trip Set up new utilities and internet Change locks/reprogram locks Get new driver’s license and license plates for the vehicle
